Officiating is essential to the successful operation of competitive swimming in the North East. Without the support of volunteers as officials many of the events within the region and nationally would just not happen. Becoming an official is a great way to provide support to your club and the swimmers within it as well as giving you the opportunity to learn new skills and meet new people.

Clubs will be aware that they are required to send at least one qualified and licensed official to each session of Championship events (N&D) where they have swimmers competing. It is recommended that each club arranges to have a team of officials available to share this task between them.
